"I went to see my doctor this morning because I have been feeling bad for the past few days. I'm tired, with nausea & vomiting. Well, he examined me and ordered some labs, and then told me that "kidneys are failing," something about a big change in my creatinine and that I needed to come to the emergency department. He told me to bring the test results here with me. [Test results today: creatinine 3.2 mg/dL; 1 month ago Test results 1.1 mg/dL; urine protein = 400 mg microalbuminuria] Do you understand what all that means? I sure don't!" 2) Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? I also feel exhausted, probably from all the vomiting and not eating. 3) When did your nausea start?

I have high blood pressure. I take medications for that. I was told last month my blood pressure has caused some kidney damage. Something about my protein in my urine. Oh, about a week ago I pulled my back lifting a heavy carton when I was cleaning out my garage. It was pretty painful so I took something for the pain. My back is really pretty good right now, but then this nausea vomiting began. 17) Any previous medical, surgical, or dental procedures? Yes.

Not anymore 21) When you urinate, have you noticed any pain, burning, blood, difficulty starting or stopping, dribbling, incontinence, urgency during day or night, or any changes in frequency?

That’s not a problem for me. 23) When you pee, is a stream or flow of urine weak or do you dribble? No 24) Do you have problems with nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, coffee grounds in your vomit, dark tarry stool, bright red blood in your bowel movements, early satiety or bloating? Yes, I have already told you about my nausea and vomiting. But none of the other stuff. My poop is normal 25) How severe is your nausea and/or vomiting? I have not eaten much of anything in the last three days, so I am not sure how to answer that question. Vomiting is and miserable business so for me it is bad.
